Digital News - Script Writing

-
The script writing is something that i am not very confident in, i am not a writer i like to be in post production BUT that doesn't mean i don't have to do it. Everyone had their own section to write, i wrote the Live section of the script Callum wrote the studio part and Joni and Amber wrote the News Package part of the script. I had started writing and felt more and more confident in what i was doing since i was actually presenting the live i felt like it was the right direction. I also had Amber and Joni helping me overall with what questions i can write down and how to execute them. I had started the script a little rough and then started to develop it every day to make sure it was prepared on the day of filming.

Callum also helped me come up with some questions i could ask Tom who i was interviewing on the day. He printed out a sheet for me with some question that would be very helpful on the day. Within the first draft i already felt more confident towards the end because i had a good idea of the structure and the style of the Live package.

Towards the second draft of the script Amber and Joni started to develop the scripting for the News Package, as a group we worked on adding new questions here and there and we worked together with a step by step guide. Amber and Joni filled the news package with a lot of information and great planning for the day, since this was our last filming day we did not rush writing this part and took our time to develop it very well.

When it came to writing the studio part Callum originally wanted to take charge, he came up with the shot list for this sequence and also organised a presenter so he felt confident with this section. He wrote the script in a different way to us as he time coded it, i think we all had our own ways of how we do things and his one was fairly simple and easy to understand which is very good.

Fiction Adaptation - Trespass - John Clare research

-

While coming up with my proposal i really wanted to discover more about John Clare. John was born in 1793 and was a very famous poet, he was born as the son of a farm labourer and did not have much money. Many individuals state that Clare is 'the greatest labouring class poet that England has ever produced' since he came from a very poor background. While reading up on his background it was very hard, he had a troubled childhood and was also sent to an asylum where he had written most of his poems. I chose the Trespass poem due to me really having a strong connection to it. I feel as John Clare felt a lot of loneliness and pain during the time that this poem was written. The sonnet has rhyming couplets and seems less angry even though it is in-fact very sad. Clare really felt despair and pain while this poem was written. Clare was born into a middle class family and felt as he wanted to express these feelings within his other poems. I couldn't really find any informati...

As Live Production - TX and Final Rehersal

Today was the day we were all preparing for! 'Steal the Style' went live! Everything egan shart at 9:00am, since the lighting and set team had to come in early to get started. Most of the work had to be completed way before the transmission hour which was 14:00. First thing me and George got to doing is setting up talkbacks and giving them out, these have an effective communication between everyone within the gallery and floor. Everyone was set and ready to go with final rehersals that started first thing in the morning, during these rehersals we were feeling confident. We were hitting our 30 minute mark and nothing had gone wrong. Everyone was ready our presenters, contributors, models, techs, first years etc. Both me and George had to make sure that all camer ops recieve a talkback and each one of us (Me, George, Jack) as the floor managers. We had a spare talkback which was given to Harvey Amiees sound assistant. We had one talkback that was broken and couldn...

As Live Production - First look into Studio Production (workshop)

Today we had a very exciting workshop with Del, it was our first go at working in a real Studio Production atmosphere. We all had a go at different jobs such as Floor Managin, Sound, Directing, VT, Talent etc. We also had a go at playing around in the gallery and seeing what it takes to be a vocal Director. We all had a go and realised that when we go live all of us tone our voices down and really start to focus very strongly on what to say and what shot to play live. I had so much fun during this workshop but found out that most of the jobs are very difficult! Escpecially my own, being a floor manager comes with many different responsibilities. I realised that i had to really nail my 'Floor Manager' hand signals. I also found it difficult to manage the talent, Del told me that i had to be nexto each camera when live so that the talent can look at you and the correct camera. Me and George both decided to take care of one talent each - i would be in charge of Adeline and Georg...
